Esau. Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was asked on another board to put together a collection of blues for someone, so the easiest thing for me was just copy one of my playlists and share that. So, here's my 'Blues1' playlist. I avoided putting too much gospel, or scratchy recordings in this playlist, but there may still be one or two that fit in those cateragories. I left all the original file info intact in case anyone wanted to locate the albums these come from and buy em. This is not a pre-war collection if anyone was wondering. That playlist is still in the works Every file is mp3 for simple uploading reasons and outright laziness, if mp3 isn't what you want, it's probally best to not download this. As well a lot of the tracks may still have the album art that I attached to my all my original files, some appear not to though, not sure why. Within the folder the files may not look that organized but they are all tagged internally to show the track/album & artist on my player (winamp) correctly and hopefully yours as well. So, here's 50 Blues Songs. Enjoy. 1. Muddy Waters - Rollin' Stone 2. Albert King & SRV - Blues At Sunrise 3. Buddy Guy & Junoir Wells - Rollin' & Tumblin' 4. Brownie McGhee - Step It Up & Go 5. Lightnin' Hopkins - Got Her Letter This Morning 6. Big Bill Broonzy - Ain't Gonna Be Treated This a way 7. Little Walter - Don't Have To Hurt No More 8. Roy Buchanan - Hey Joe 9. Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated - I'm Built For Comfort 10. Michael Bloomfield - Don't Throw Your Love At Me So Strong 11. Mississippi John Hurt - Stack o'Lee Blues 12. T-Bone Walker - Blues Is A Woman 13. Lane Hardin - California Desert Blues 14. T-Bone Walker - You Don't Love Me 15. Cora Mae Bryant - Cool And Rainy Day 16. Bukka White - Shake 'em On Down 17. Amos Milburn - Three Times A Fool 18. Little Sam Davis - 1958 Blues 19. Delaney & Bonnie - Don't Decieve Me (Please Don't Go) 20. Blind Joe Reynolds - Third Street Woman Blues 21. Little Walter - One Of These Mornings 22. Little Sam Davis - She's So Good To Me 23. Tommy Johnson - Canned Heat Blues 24. Charlie Musselwhite - Everythings Gonna Be Alright 25.

Guest Low Roller Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I will claim to know blues after downloading this playlist. Thanks Esau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Cheers folks, hope ya'll enjoy, nothing to far out or rare in there really, but its one of my more played playlists. Roy's version of 'Hey Joe' usually gets a replay (or two) from me and a few bangs on the wall from my neighbour to turn it down once in awhile. What? No Jonny Lang?! Sorry Jaimoe, I do have some Lang, but he really didn't fit this playlist in my opinion. I keep those blues in a folder similar to my "new country" folder. esau, you're some kind of hero today!cheers dude downloading it now My pleasure C, I saw your other post and I was hoping you'd get around to those links, figured you'd be someone who would also enjoy em. Sorta a cross-post reply here I guess. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I really like your list Greg. Love seeing Tommy Johnson and Black Ace on there. They were two terrifying dudes. If you compile another one, could you throw in some Robert Nighthawk, Junior Kimbrough and Robert Johnson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 A lot was left out from the original playlist, RJ for one, only because I'm building a pre-war collection to share eventually. I find it a lot tougher to compile though without just throwing in any old quality of recording, a lot of which many folks would probally find unlistenable besides collectors/fans of that era, as I'm sure you understand.The Nighthawk & Kimbrough on the other hand were perhaps oversights on my part I suppose, but I just took one of my playlists I had made for myself long ago and copied the files over to a folder to share, removing a few tracks due to sound quality.When I get around to making another collection to share I'll more then likely build it from scratch and it'll have a lot more artists and perhaps not so many "fan favourites" as I like to see them as.

Esau. Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh and speaking of Robert Nighthawk, I love this one from the movie 'And This is Free' (a must see if you haven't). Maxwell Street, Chicago circa 1964 - the blues just ain't played like this anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Great collection though. It flows together nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thats good to hear, as each time I listen to any of my playlists I begin with hitting randomize before hitting play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
